Pregnant and running away with the billionaire’s twins novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28:

It was late in the evening by the time my testimony was recorded and the case was almost solved

Jessica was being taken inside the prison when she turned around calling me out!!

“Do you think you have won Elena?! Dad will get me out soon and once he does, see If I let you have a good life!” my adopted sister gritted her teeth in anger as her eyes darted from me to Alex turning hostile

With that she was taken inside and at that moment I got a call from Damien

“Elena baby, can you please wait for some time in there, I will just need half an hour to come and get you

“Don’t worry Damien, Miss Anderson- a cop offered to drop me back at home I reassured him before continuing “I also need to go to grandma at the hospital-

“I will do it Elena, you must be tired so have some rest, alright? And call me if you need me.” I hung up only to see Alex looking at me with eccentric eyes before they turned soft as if it was only on illusion

“Elena, Miss Anderson was called for an assignment. How about I drop you off please don’t refuse. I hesitated disliking the idea before finally giving in.

Soon Alex pulled up to my without another word.

apartment building, tuming off the engine. The air between us was thick with unspoken tension as I got out

“Elena” Alex said, his voice gentle. “You’re not even going to

to invite me in for old times’s sake? We can just grab a cup of coffee before I leave B

“Why would I do that Alex?” I froze in shock, turning to look at him with suspicion.

He shrugged his lips curving into a faint smile. “Let me apologize, properly. I promise to never bother you again if you let me explain just

this one last time.

I hesitated. The thought of being alone with Alex unnerved me, but Alex had turned to help me out this time, personally giving evidence against Jessica thus I conceded.

“Fine. Just one cup of coffee and you are out-

“Do you say the same thing to Damien?

“Damien never forces me to do things I dislike. I retorted in anger only for Alex to smile mysteriously

“I will try to do whatever you like Elena.”

With that we stepped into our apartment, the atmosphere growing even heavier. Alex glanced at the small space, this apartment was smaller than his master bedroom making his lips curl up.

“It’s great he remarked, a faint hint of sarcasm in his tone.

“Yes, much better than the house which was my hell for three years” I replied curtly, moving toward the kitchen. “T’ll make the coffee.”

“No” Alex interrupted, his lips in a thin line. “In the past it was only you who always worked for me Elena, let me do it this time.”

I wished to scoff yet watching his serious expression, relented with a short nod.

“You can sit down while I bring it to you at the table.” I nodded ||

Minutes later, Alex handed me the steaming cup, his expression unreadable while he looked at me intensely. Feeling uncomfortable I took a sip to soothe my nerves as we sat down at the small dining table.”

“You don’t need to try so hard Alex I finally said, breaking the silence. My voice was steady, but the words were spoken from my heart. which was broken “I’m not selfish like you.”

“What are you talking about?” Alex scowled at me.

I sat the cup down, meeting his gaze directly. “You’re doing all this, collecting the evidence, and suddenly showing concern to gain access to the twins, aren’t you?

“I am doing no such thing. Alex’s body stiffened, his hand clenching hard around his burning cup.

“You don’t need to scheme, Alex.” I interrupted. “Earlier, I was so happy to finally conceive and came to give you this surprise on your birthday but I heard you talking with your friends that I am just a substitute for Jessica.

I wondered if I as a mother could be discarded so will my children but even after leaving I was never planning against

From the beginning, I had never planned to separate my twin children from you. They deserve to know their father”

Alex’s face suddenly drained of all color His cup trembled as he set it down. “What did you say?”
